How bad is wheel hop?? I mean, I know it's bad, but how much is bad?<P>Here in Tucson, Az.....U-turns are legal. I have noticed that when I u-turn (frequently) and have to get a move on it......my car will not get any traction whatsoever and hops until I let off and pray that the cars coming don't hit me.<P>3 of the 4 rubbers around the car are brand new, the other one is less than a year old. If that helps any. The roads out here aren't the best quality either...... What do you guys think?
